A current module in progress provides general vector path
operations, including intersection, union, symmetric difference, and
stroke outline. 29 Sep 1998: This module is now almost complete
- it just needs some code to handle the degenerate cases with
numerical stability.

It is anticipated that most of these infrastructure improvements
will be folded back into the Gtk+ development tree, hopefully in time
for the 1.2 release.

Here's a screenshot of gfonted, showing a glyph loaded
from an Adobe Type1 font (the URW version of Times Roman):

1.0, also compiles with 1.1).
